Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 63 Tomato Cucumber and Turtle

After Zhao Lei taught the Wang brothers and sisters a lesson, he felt that Li Qian would not encounter any troubles at school, so he went back to the village with peace of mind, completely unaware that the girl was being targeted by the more vicious Guo Wenjie.

Half a month after the first harvest of leafy vegetables, melons and fruits began to mature one after another, among which the most eye-catching ones were cucumbers and tomatoes.

Although they are all very ordinary vegetables, they have undergone surprising changes under the watering of fairy dew.The stems of the two kinds of vegetables are thicker than Zhao Lei's wrist, they are like cucumber trees and tomato trees, and the yield is astonishingly high.Hu Qiang helped Zhao Lei estimate that the output of tomato and cucumber is more than three times higher than that of ordinary varieties!
Such a high yield surprised Hu Qiang, an experienced old farmer, and made him admire Zhao Lei, a classmate who had never shown his face.

Zhao Lei gave the newly harvested tomatoes and cucumbers to his close neighbors to taste, and everyone was full of praise.It means that cucumbers, tomatoes and emerald vegetables are the same, both in terms of appearance and taste, it is very surprising.

With the affirmation of the villagers, Zhao Lei became more confident, and immediately called Jiang Zili to tell him that a new variety of vegetables was on the market.

This news made the gourmet very happy, and he couldn't wait to ask Zhao Lei: "Xiao Zhao, when do you plan to send these vegetables to the Garden Restaurant?"

Zhao Lei said with a smile, "I plan to deliver it tomorrow."

Jiang Zili immediately said: "Okay, I will rush from Shencheng to Xinwu City tonight, and see you at the Garden Hotel tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei and Zhou Jun rushed to the Garden Hotel in the city to deliver the goods.In addition to the vegetables provided to the garden restaurant, there was also a large soft-shelled turtle weighing about ten catties in the car.

Jiang Zili is a busy man, so he came here from Shencheng on purpose, and only allowed him to taste two new vegetables, which made Zhao Lei feel a little embarrassed.So he deliberately caught a soft-shelled turtle from the gourd space, so that gourmets can try it out.

To Zhao Lei's surprise, Jiang Zili arrived earlier than him, and was already waiting at the back door of the Garden Hotel.As soon as Zhou Jun stopped the car, the gourmet couldn't wait to ask Zhao Lei: "Where are the new vegetables? Let me see them!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, you are too anxious, the vegetables are in the back compartment, I will go and move them down for you to see!"

Li Qingfeng next to him also smiled wryly: "Lao Jiang knew that there was something delicious again, so he pulled me over early in the morning, I haven't woken up yet!"

Jiang Zili said angrily: "You are still in the mood to sleep after the delicious food, this attitude is not worthy of being a chef at all!"

Zhao Lei quickly smoothed things over: "Stop arguing, you two, let's see how my cucumbers and tomatoes are doing!"

Jiang Zili was the first to come to the car, and when he saw the tomatoes and cucumbers in the plastic basket, he immediately widened his eyes and said loudly: "Xiao Zhao, the appearance of these two vegetables is really top-notch! Look at this tomato, its shape The size is exactly the same, there is no scar on the surface, and the bright red ones are the same as those carved from the best agate!"

Li Qingfeng also nodded repeatedly: "There is also this cucumber, which is green and verdant, and there are still cucumber flowers on the top. It looks very fresh at first glance, not bad, really good!"

This is the first time Jiang Zili has seen such good-looking cucumbers and tomatoes, and he couldn't care less about them for a while. He picked up the tomato and took a bite, then said intoxicatedly: "Sufficient water, sweet and sour, It’s really hard to stop after one bite!”

Li Qingfeng picked a cucumber to taste, and soon sighed: "Xiao Zhao's vegetables are really extraordinary, whether it is leafy vegetables or melons and fruits, the taste is beyond words!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "I know Mr. Jiang is coming today, and I brought a soft-shelled turtle with me. I'll trouble Brother Li to do it later."

Seeing the soft-shelled turtle in the water basin, Li Qingfeng was immediately taken aback and said: "Look at the back shell and skirt of this soft-shelled turtle, it must be wild! Now such a big wild soft-shelled turtle is rare, I must show my hand later! "

Jiang Zili urged Li Qingfeng loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, go to the kitchen, I can't wait!"

Zhao Lei moved the vegetables into the kitchen and calculated the price after weighing them.Although he still only sent 2 catties of vegetables, the income from this batch of vegetables has exceeded 40 yuan because the prices of tomatoes and cucumbers are higher than those of leafy vegetables.The average price of vegetables per catty exceeds [-] yuan, which is definitely not cheap.

After Zhao Lei went to the finance department to collect the money and returned to the kitchen, Jiang Zili had asked Li Qingfeng to cook some vegetables, and he was eating them with great admiration.

Seeing Zhao Lei coming in, the gourmet immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Zhao, I have never admired anyone, but you are definitely an exception. You have brought me too many surprises!"

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, you are too proud of the prize. You will try the soft-shelled turtles I raise later. I am already building fish ponds, and I am going to raise soft-shelled turtles on a large scale next."

Hearing that this soft-shelled turtle was originally raised by Zhao Lei, Jiang Zili nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm more interested in soft-shelled turtles after you say that. I must taste it later!"

Because the soft-shelled turtle was very big, Jiang Zili waited for a long time before the steaming soft-shelled turtle was delivered to the table.The gourmet's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma, and he couldn't wait to take a sip, then nodded and said: "It seems that Xiao Zhao is not only an expert in cultivating vegetables, but also an expert in breeding! This soft-shelled turtle is fresh but not fishy, ​​fat and It is not greasy, and tastes better than wild soft-shelled turtles, and when it is introduced to the market in the future, it will definitely be as popular as emerald vegetables!"

Li Qingfeng said with a smile: "I discovered it when I was making soft-shelled turtles. Although this soft-shelled turtle was bred by Zhao Lei, the quality is better than wild ones. I really don't know how he raised such a good soft-shelled turtle!"

Jiang Zili munched and said vaguely: "It doesn't matter how he is raised, we just need to know that there is another delicious food! Oh, this taste is really good, I will write a blog when I go back today, and introduce you well Cucumber tomato and big soft-shelled turtle!"

Zhao Lei said happily: "That's really great. After you recommended my emerald vegetables last time, many people came to buy them."

"It's mainly because the jadeite vegetables are of good quality. As long as the chefs in those restaurants are not stupid, they will definitely come to you." Li Qingfeng also laughed and said, "After today, there will be two more varieties of vegetables that everyone wants to buy. , Xiao Zhao, you want to get rich."

Zhao Lei said modestly: "Don't make fun of me, you two. Your career has just started, and it's too early to get rich."

Jiang Zili couldn't eat any more, so he reluctantly put down his chopsticks and said, "Actually, you can't make a fortune just relying on soft-shelled turtles and vegetables. Some ingredients used in western food are expensive. If you want to make a fortune, Xiao Zhao, you can Find a way to learn about truffles!"
